iOS Question B4XFloatTextField hint text problem

[davemorris]

Hi, Guys
I am having a problem with the Hint text associated with the B4XFloatTextField view. If I specify a radius (say 15dip) for the Boarder properties, then part of the Hint text is hidden by the radius when you start entering characters (obviously, with no radius it is OK).

I have tried to pad the Hint text with spaces but once you try to start entering characters the Hint text moves to the top left corner and again it is partly hidden. Perhaps there is a better method for padding the Hint text?

Kind regards
Dave

Hi
I have had a look at your code and it does work, however i have found another solution simply insert the code

B4XFloatTextField1.HintLabelSmallOffsetX = 10Dip ' Set to enough to avoid it covered by the Radius corner (ideally based on the radius value)

regards
Dave

Don't forget to call B4XFloatTextField1.Update after changing these properties.

I actually can’t get whatB4XFloatTextField1.Update does.Would you please explain and say what would happen If this command isn’t called?

It redraws the hint.
